THE UNANSWERED QUESTION

The angelic devil they call me,a devil with looks similar to an angel with thick silver straight hair hanging down to my waist and eyes a mixture of violet,grey and blue.Attired in dark fighting gears and a cape of purest black with tendrils of crimson rising from the hem I did look like a devil straight from hell.

I've become a nightmare for so many,mothers warned their children about the monster who lured people with her looks and left corpse sucked dry in her wake.

I couldn't kill the girl and the failure of kings's champion spread like wildfire and soon reached the castle which had led to this test,to walk into the street and unleash myself.I had done exactly I was told,luckily there were only few rebels stirring up trouble and I did not think this time.I let the devil to the surface and from there everything was a blur of blood and metal.There was only one thing on my mind,as long as I am at the king's good graces he would leave Victoria alone.

Victoria.

My little sister.I still remember the day I was forced to freeze out all my emotions and became the cold and hateful monster everyone fears.The face of an innocent eleven year old girl with bright blue green eyes and dark hair.Her face was twisted in pain,tears streamed down her cheeks as the knife at her throat was pressed deeper drawing blood while I stood there helpless,her pained eyes never leaving mine.That day had changed my life,extinguishing all hopes for a life that I could call life wholeheartedly.

Even after four years I still have nightmares after which sleep completely abandoned me and to escape the stress I plunged myself into excessive training , my skills increased and I lived up to my reputation.

I walked past Diem eager to get away from blood and death towards the huge castle that loomed over the town to meet the man who made me a husk of who I was before .The question still remains unanswered,who I was before all the bloodshed and misery,perhaps I would find out my past or maybe never.

My memory streches back to the day of our capture.There was smoke everywhere and everything around me was aflame in a brilliant gold.The smoke in my lungs made it painful to breath and the tears blurred my vision.I felt a tug on my sleeve,I looked down and saw wide blue green eyes welled with tears ,she clung to me ,her body shaking .A sudden protectiveness took over me,I knew I was going to die and I was going to give up but her eyes pulled me out of my despair and at that moment all I wanted was to get her out but I had failed,before we could escape the king's men had found us and had dragged us to him and he had threatened me to kill my sister if I hadn't became his champion.

I couldn't remember anything about my life before the capture and I don't know if I ever will .
